“Riding for the Disabled”
Riding for the Disabled (NSW) Raymond Terrace and Lower Hunter Centre provides equine assisted activities for people with a disability.
We provide an opportunity for people with disabilities to use horse related activities for recreational and therapeutic purposes. Horses provide a unique stimulus for these purposes.
Our riders gain the following benefits including:
Physical benefits including balance, muscle strength and co-ordinanation.
Psychological benefits including self-confidence, a sense of well-being and patience.
Social benefits including new friendships, a respect and love for animals and enjoyment.
Educational benefits including reading/writing improvement, sequencing and planning eye/hand co-ordination.
Our programs run over three days of the week catering to approximately 30 riders participating from schools, care centres and individually.
All funds raised this year by Robb College will go to this charity.

Robb College Charity Fundraising
Each year Robb chooses a charity to raise funds for and support throughout the duration of the college year. The charities chosen are frequently ones that hit close to home for our students and everyone is more than happy to get right behind them. We started our directed charity work back in 1981 and over that time we have been able to raise over $1,000,000 for many causes.

Robb College Charity Long Lunch
Charity Long Lunch 2022 - Started in 2016, our first Charity Long Lunch was a huge success. The Charity Long Lunch has been continued each year.
Project Week
For Robb, a big part of our fundraising goes on during the first week of trimester two, in a week that is known as 'Project Week'. Over this week students from Robb attend a number of events, with all proceeds going straight to charity. To help raise awareness to what we do, the students wear an item of clothing that is related to the type of charity and branded with both theirs and our own information.
This has become well known with the university and is fully supported by students, lecturers and others around the community that have come to expect to see Robb dressed up during this week.
